long time no blog

i know!
i miss blogging everyday.
life gets in the way. i choose to spend my time elsewhere sometimes.

happy belated valentine's day. the boys sure had fun celebrating with their friends and classmates. adam brought home dinner for us. other than that we didn't really make a big deal. we like to call valentines the hallmark holiday.white chocolate covered double stuff oreos on a stick for their classmates. and i almost gave all 40 away without taking a decent picture of them.
i made them on sunday at my friend's while the kids played together. it's so fun to bake together. tomorrow we're making bread and shortbread cookies.

africa paperwork is 99.8% complete. deposit is paid. i've received 4 out of 7 shots. i'm excited! time to step up fundraising. if you want an africa shirt email me :)

seriously unlucky... ran over a bolt. but discount tire fixed it for free. they rock!
oh my heavens. this boy is about to lose his first top front tooth. this will be tooth number 3 before he even turns 6. early achiever. irresistibly adorable.
